Chemotherapy might improve a patient’s chances of survival by three to five per cent though that modest figure is usually over generous. For example, the evidence suggests that chemotherapy offers breast cancer patients an uplift in survival of little more than 2.5%.

If you are young it might help. but it totally destroys your immune system. I've seen it in dozens of older people. They go through chemo and in just a little while it comes back with a vengence.

I've lost a few friends to chem treatments and managed to really irritate a doctor that ordered chemo for me following a false positive test. Here is one of my declarations in my living will:

"C. I further direct that: No Colonoscopy, No Flu or Pneumonia vaccinations, No chemotherapy."

If you haven't made one of these, I highly suggest you do so while you are still mobile.
